Chapter 748: Daily Life

"Those who defeat gods can no longer be ordinary people."

"Those blue eyes will take everything from you one day!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Facing Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's intimidation, Boruto suddenly assumed a combat stance, and then woke up.

"So it was a dream."

Boruto let out a long breath, lay back down, but couldn't fall asleep again.

"Damn Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki."

Boruto cursed in his heart and looked at the window covered by the curtain.

The off-white linen-blend curtain was a bit thin, unable to completely block the sunlight, and a sudden gust of wind directly lifted the corner, letting the sunlight sneak in briefly.

Obviously, it was already broad daylight.

Probably because he didn't sleep well last night, he couldn't wake up early today.

Boruto thought he couldn't be blamed; anyone who heard that a powerful enemy who could replace them lived inside their body wouldn't be able to stay calm.

Moreover, he was just a twelve-year-old boy.

Boruto got up and dressed, and then noticed a breakfast and a note on the table.

"Free to act, just don't leave Konoha."

Although the note had no name, there was no doubt that it was the note left by Sasuke.

"Mr. Sasuke is always busy every day. He's not sneaking off to have fun alone, is he?"

Boruto casually complained, then started eating the breakfast Sasuke had bought.

But this time, Boruto was wrong about Sasuke; today he didn't go to teach Itachi Uchiha, but was checking ancient texts in Konoha's library, trying to find some information about the Karma seal.

After finishing breakfast, Boruto left the hotel and began wandering aimlessly.

Originally, he planned to train hard to increase his strength, but now the harder he trained, the faster Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki would replace him, so training had to be put on hold for now.

Since he couldn't train, Boruto didn't have anything else he wanted to do for now.

He had already seen Hinata from a distance. As expected of his mother, she was incredibly cute.

"So boring, what should I do?"

Boruto fell into deep dilemma.

Today was only the fourth day since he had traveled to this world.

Normally, such a short time wouldn't be enough to explore all of Konoha. But Konoha in Boruto's world was just a bit more advanced than this Konoha, not completely different.

Many of the sights here, Boruto had already visited before.

"How about finding young Mr. Sasuke?"

Boruto suddenly remembered that he had never seen Sasuke as a child.

Sasuke and Naruto are the same age; Naruto is already three years old, so Sasuke must also be three.

"If Mr. Sasuke finds out, he'll probably be upset."

Boruto could already imagine Sasuke's expression of silently staring at him with a stern face.

In that case, then...

"Just don't let Mr. Sasuke find out!"

Boruto eagerly headed towards Sarada's home in his memory.

As long as he wasn't caught by Sasuke, then he didn't do it.

However, when Boruto arrived at the location in his memory, he found that it was completely different from how he remembered it.

"Did they rebuild it later because they didn't like living there?"

Boruto muttered, feeling he might have found the wrong place, but since he was already here, he simply knocked on the door.

"Who are you?"

A middle-aged uncle Boruto didn't recognize walked out of the door.

"Excuse me, is this Uchiha Sasuke's house?"

Boruto asked tentatively.

Before the middle-aged uncle could answer, Boruto had already gotten his answer from the man's look, which was like looking at an idiot.

"Thanks, goodbye!"

Boruto quickly ran off.

Apparently, Sarada's family had moved to a different house during Sasuke's childhood, not at the original location.

"Should I just ask someone? But Sasuke-san is only three years old right now, so probably no one knows him."

Boruto was in a bind for a moment.

He felt that Sasuke's father must also be a formidable ninja, with a considerable reputation in Konoha.

But the problem was that Boruto had no idea what Sasuke's father was named.

He couldn't just ask passersby who Sasuke's father was—that would loop back to the same problem; no one knew Sasuke now.

"Should I try to pry his childhood address out of Sasuke-san tonight? He'd definitely see through my motive."

Boruto scratched his head, feeling like he'd hit a dead end.

"Little bro Boruto, what's wrong? You look so down."

Obito, who was passing by, saw Boruto and greeted him.

Boruto looked up and saw Obito, instinctively stepping back half a pace.

Sasuke had specifically warned him to be careful of two people: one was Orochimaru, and the other was Uchiha Obito, who was now standing before him.

Boruto had asked Sasuke why, but Sasuke didn't explain, only saying those two were very dangerous.

"Is it because you can't train, so you feel like you have nothing to do?"

Obito rubbed his chin and speculated.

Boruto didn't say anything but nodded, acknowledging Obito's words.

"I see. Then I'll take you to an interesting place."

Obito flashed forward, grabbed Boruto's shoulder, and consecutively used the Flying Thunder God Technique. By the time Boruto reacted, they had arrived at a flat training ground.

"What are you doing?"

Boruto quickly backed away, looking at Obito with a wary gaze.

He had to admit that although Obito looked a bit dumb, his skills were really extraordinary, and he even mastered space-time ninjutsu.

"You'll know in a bit. They should be here soon."

Obito took a watch out of the Kamui dimension, glanced at it, and replied.

Yesterday he had arranged to meet with the three—him, Anko, and the others—to guide their training today.

Originally, Obito planned to arrive a bit late and disguise himself as an enemy to test the three's strength and cooperation.

Boruto's appearance made Obito change his mind.

Disguising as an enemy was still too cliché; ninjas these days didn't write that trope anymore.

Obito wanted the test to be innovative, interesting for Boruto, and ultimately reflect the characteristics of their Muyue Style.

Since Obito made no further move, Boruto's anxious heart relaxed a little.

After all, this was Konoha, and his grandfather, the Fifth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, was his protector. Obito wouldn't dare do anything.

"This guy looks dumb, so why did Sasuke-san say he's dangerous?"

Boruto felt a bit curious.

At that moment, a few somewhat familiar figures came into Boruto's line of sight.

"Good morning, Captain Obito."

Anko greeted Obito with a grin, then immediately noticed Boruto beside Obito.

"Wow, he couldn't really be Muyue-sensei's illegitimate child, could he?"

Anko exclaimed.

As everyone knew, Obito was one of Muyue's famous disciples, and under special circumstances could even represent Muyue's will.

And a child who looked very much like Muyue was following Obito—wasn't that solid proof?

"Muyue-sensei is fifteen-ten? Anko, don't you know that repeating a joke too many times not only isn't funny but gets annoying?"

Kotetsu said sarcastically.

"It's not impossible. Muyue-sensei is so wonderful, there must be many who like him."

Anko was unconvinced.

"Captain Obito, don't you think so?"

"No, don't talk nonsense."

Since it concerned Muyue's reputation, Obito was serious for once.

If rumors spread and caused Muyue's gossip to fly everywhere, his guilt would be great.

"This world's Anko-sensei is done for."

Seeing the almost identical simple-minded expressions of Anko and Obito, Boruto silently mourned for Anko for a second.

"Captain Obito, how will we train today?"

Izumo Kamizuki asked.

"First, normal training."

Obito didn't answer Izumo's question, but directly took the three to conduct routine training, instructing them in taijutsu and ninjutsu.

Boruto had originally wanted to take this opportunity to leave, but after listening for a while, he was surprised to find that Obito had a high level that didn't match his appearance; even as an onlooker, he felt the teaching was very thorough.

After instructing them for a bit, Obito began to test the three's strength and team coordination, making them all attack him with full force.

Anko and the others all knew Obito's formidable strength, so they didn't hold back and used whatever means they had.

"I didn't expect Anko-sensei to be so strong when she was young. Her teammates are also no pushovers; their coordination is really good."

Boruto was captivated by the battle.

For Boruto, this level of battle was even more interesting than Sasuke's fight against Urashiki Ōtsutsuki.

Because fights that were too high-level were hard for Boruto to understand, and many movements were difficult to see clearly.

"The three of them must have a great relationship, joking around casually like that and having such good coordination."

Watching Anko's team work together to fight Obito, Boruto couldn't help but think of Sarada and Mitsuki, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

If the problem with his Karma couldn't be resolved, he wouldn't be able to go on missions with Sarada and Mitsuki anymore.

That would be irresponsible to both parties.

At that moment, the battle was nearing its end. After knocking down Anko, Obito generously praised:

"Not bad at all. You've all made considerable progress, and your coordination is good."

All three, Anko included, showed happy smiles, exaggerating each other's highlights, looking harmonious and friendly.

"Everyone, hurry up and refine your chakra. Our special training will start soon."

Obito glanced at Boruto without leaving a trace, then cleared his throat twice and announced.

After a while, Obito sat down next to the dazed Boruto and explained the rules for the special training.

"There is only one rule: Next, you will use the ninjutsu you think is best and most suitable, and use ninjutsu to make Boruto's expression change."

"I will score you based on Boruto's expression, the effect of the ninjutsu itself, and other factors. The last place person has to do a hundred questions."

"Huh?"

Boruto and Anko let out confused sounds at the same time.

"Sorry to trouble you, Boruto, to act as an exam tool for once. I owe you a favor."

Obito patted Boruto on the shoulder and said.

Boruto couldn't hold back—what the hell is "exam tool"? At least call him an examiner.

He originally wanted to refuse this absurd proposal, but thinking that Obito might know Little Sasuke, he shut his mouth.

Boruto had never been one to follow strict orders.

Although Sasuke said Obito was dangerous, based on Boruto's own interactions, Obito wasn't dangerous at all.

So he decided to ask Obito for information about Little Sasuke.

"This guy really has some skill. It looks like a joke, but this training tests information gathering ability and can also measure overall ninjutsu level."

Boruto analyzed in his mind.

After being taught by Sasuke, he understood many things he hadn't learned before and made considerable progress in various aspects.

"Is that all? Let me go first!"

Anko laughed heartily and stepped forward first.

Just a little kid—if she casually used a large-scale Fire Style, he'd be shocked, right?

"Flame Breathing, Full Concentration!"

"Fire Style: Flame Vortex!"

Anko concentrated her breathing to the utmost, then gathered a large amount of chakra in her throat, and finally expelled the compressed chakra all at once as flames, creating a dazzling winding fire serpent that encircled everyone.

Anko looked at Boruto with a smug expression, thinking he must be surprised and impressed by her skill.

"Shocked speechless?"

Anko looked at Boruto's expressionless face and slowly formed a question mark.

"Just an ordinary Fire Style."

Boruto retorted.

He had seen many big scenes and had even personally experienced Naruto and Sasuke ganging up to kill Otsutsuki Momoshiki.

In his eyes, Anko's ninjutsu was just so-so, nothing impressive.

"Haha, Izumo, as expected, it's up to us."

Kotetsu looked up and laughed loudly.

Izumo nodded deeply in agreement.

"You two? Isn't this only for one person?"

Anko sensed something was wrong.

"Who told you it's only for one person? The rules don't say that."

Kotetsu laughed wildly.

He and Izumo had been studying the rules just now.

Anko looked at Obito with a puzzled gaze and finally received an affirmative answer.

"Anko, you brat, this time we will surely make you return in great defeat."

Izumo said with a triumphant smile.

"Damn it, I request to join them. We're all at the same rank, let's do the questions together."

Anko requested to join the team.

"You've already used your ninjutsu."

Obito rejected Anko's request.

Boruto watched this scene and silently retracted his previous evaluation of Anko's team.

Although reluctantly, Anko had no choice but to withdraw, silently praying that Shingetsu Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu would make a mistake in their performance.

"Confusion Technique!"

Shingetsu Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu exchanged a glance, then together formed hand signs and transformed into scantily clad beauties.

That's right, this was their unbeatable ninja technique for victory.

Suddenly using the Confusion Technique, Boruto, who had never seen girls like this, would surely be shocked and embarrassed, his expression drastically changing. And in terms of practicality, the Confusion Technique was also a move that could effectively confuse enemies.

Something surprising happened: Boruto remained expressionless, even with a disdainful look, while it was Obito whose eyes widened instead.

"You think this level is enough to impress me?"

"Harem Technique!"

Boruto swiftly formed hand signs, instantly splitting into six blonde beauties with different expressions surrounding Shingetsu Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu, directly unsettling their minds and causing them to revert to their original forms.

"Brother Boruto!"

Staring at the visually impactful multiple beauties, Shingetsu Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu were completely convinced and hastily called him "bro."

They had to admit that in this art, only their big brother Ebisu could possibly compete with Boruto.

Seeing the two completely won over by a single Harem Technique, Boruto couldn't help but laugh.

"The ninja of this era are different from what Sasuke said — it feels like they're even more cheerful than the people in his time."
